Some tankie bs detection
I saw this post on my dash. The user is blocked now. But just to educate people so that they won't fall for idiotic claims online, here are a couple of facts:
1. The Islamic Republic is not anti imperialist, they're anti USA. The regime is very much in love with Russian imperialism. At this point, Iran is an unofficial russian colony. And by the support of their imperialist father figure they have their small version of imperialism in middle east. Ask Iraq and Lebanon.
2. There's no "safety" when it comes to economy in Iran. The "national sovereignty" is called "those fvckin thieves in power" here. Iran's regime is one of the most corrupt regimes by international index. Rent, nepotism, embezzlement and money laundering are serious issues in Iran. Done only and only by the governors and people in power. Social class is not only a thing, there's a raging gap between rich people and those in poverty. And the gap is getting bigger and bigger by month. If you have connections in government or you are in the government, you'll get richer and richer. Other wise, soon enough you'll be in poverty too. Many families, including mine, who used to be considered middle class, have incomes lower than the poverty threshold now.
About 15% of Iran's economic failure including inflation is on the sanctions. The rest is on the corruption within the regime.
Iran's banking system is also a corrupted organ. The so called Islamic banking is anything but Islamic. The loan interest rate is one of the highest worldwide, 23%, so that often you have to pay back more than twice the money you've received. It's called Riba in Islam and it's Haram. According to the regime themselves, the banking system in European countries, even in the USA, is more Islamic than us. The fact that some of the biggest embezzlement in Iran has been done by bank managers should give you a picture of how they're drinking our blood.
None of this is on USA imperialism. It's all the Islamic Republic.
3. The Islamic Republic doesn't support Palestinians. The regime is extremely racist and anti Arab. I dare you talk about this with an actual Arab. IR don't give two shites about Palestinians lives. The regime is antisemitic. That's what they are. Palestine is just an excuse to attack Israel. In the past 20+ years of my life, living in Iran and dealing with these posers, not once we've been educated about Palestine and Palestinians lives. Everything I know, I've learned from online resources and documentaries make by Palestinians. The regime doesn't talk about Palestinians when they pose as supporters. I'm pretty sure they don't know or care to know anything noteworthy about Palestine, considering my knowledge of the human rights violations there is always more than basiji people of my country, and I don't even know that much. All the regime talks about is how Israel should be eliminated. IR supports a terrorist organization called Hamas, not Palestinians.
4. Let's forget about everything I said so far. I wonder if tankies like the op has any ounce of humanity in them! The regime has been oppressing women, violating every type of human rights and murdering lgbtq people and other-thinkers for the last 40 years. The spectacular environmental disaster in Iran is the direct result of regime's policies and neglect. This is a case of human rights violation since it's ruining people's lives, especially ethnic minorities, like Arab farmers in south.
No religious minority is safe in Iran, be it atheist, Baha'i, Jew, christian, or Sunni Muslim. They commit crime against children, through labor and through war. IRGC have little regards for human lives in general but it descent into no regards at all for ethnic minorities.
They have MASS EXECUTED 30,000 leftists (members of Marxist Communist parties and their supporters) within the first decade of their autocratic rule. It's unbelievably funny to me when foreign leftists support a regime that has executed many of their fellow thinkers and still arrest and torture any left activist in Iran.
To say the reason the 1979 revolution happened was to get rid of western influence and to establish a democratic free independent government is true. But the Islamic Republic is not that result. Don't be fooled.

Pentagon is considering funding Starlink for Ukraine to make sure they have access to Internet. And yet, no such support is given to Iranian protestors. Do you know how much Starlink costs in Iran? $2K. For an incredibly poor country with rising inflation, low employment rates, for a country where majority of the people live in poverty, $2K might as well be $200K. The only people who could afford Starlink are the IRGC or those connected to the Islamic Republic.
The West must support Iranian protestors the same way they are supporting Ukraine. If the West genuinely believes the Islamic Republic is a terrorist regime, that the Islamic Republic is destabilizing the Middle East and genuinely wants there to be a free Iran, then it should do more than just platitudes. It should fund Starlink for Iran, it should impose sanctions on family members of the Islamic Republic and seize their assets, it should establish a mechanism to hold Islamic Republic accountable for crimes against humanity, and it should deport all Islamic Republic officials. That is real support - support that will help the cause of Iranian people. Simply saying “We support the people of Iran” or “Iranian women are so brave” is useless - it does nothing to help them. 
This is a golden opportunity. We are at a juncture in history - if the West genuinely feels that the Islamic Republic is a threat and wants to bring peace and stability to Middle East and Iran, then it should show real support, they way it’s supported Ukraine. Also, the fall of the Islamic Republic will further help the cause of the Ukrainian people and the freedom of Ukraine from the illegal, brutal invasion by Russia. 
Iranian lives matter and real support is needed to protect their lives and to end the brutality and terrorism of the Islamic Republic. 
#Never forget Zahedan
#Never forget Sanandaj
#Never forget Evin
#Never forget Sharif University
#Never forget Ardabil 
#Never forget all those murdered by the Islamic Republic 
#Never forget the chain murders of late ‘80s, early ‘90s: Dariush Forouhar, Parvaneh Forouhar, Saeedi Sirjani, Fereydoon Farokhzad, Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou, Shapour Bakhtiar, Mohammad Mokhtari, Mohammad Jafar Pouyandeh, Sadegh Sharafkandi, Fattah Abdoli, Homayoun Ardalan, and Nouri Dehkordi  and many more

Western Islamophobes about the protests in Iran: See, Muslims are savages! Something like that (the killing of a woman due to her outfit) would have never happened here because we're civilized. Hijabs must be banned!
Fanatical Muslims about the protests in Iran: The woman wasn't killed because of the way she wore her hijab. She just collapsed all of a sudden. Women are not opressed here and the protests are planned to slander Iran! Also, you're not brave if you take your hijab off, you're brave if you wear it all the time and every woman must do so.

Support is going out with my hijabi (chadori) friend and the metro gateman letting us pass for free because we were the definition of hijabi and non hijabi solidarity. The face of freedom.
Support is also this business in Iran that was shut down for not enforcing the hijab law on their customers, and then on the day it was reopened, they announced they're offering 50% off to women who don't wear mandatory hijab.
Tumblr media
[Image id// a screenshot of an Instagram story that was made by a business account. it reads: hello beautifuls, we're back! to celebrate the reopening of the store, 50% off is being offered to anyone who shops in person without mandatory hijab. //end of id]
Of course they were forced to apologize and delete their announcement a couple of hours later, but the message stands. The fight won't be over.

"support women in countries where they are actively subjugated and denied basic human rights" and "beware of the West using feminism to take the moral high ground in a way which is both hypocritical and dangerous" are takes that can and should coexist

July 25 is the birthday of a 19-year-old woman named Mahsa Mogoi, who was murdered by the rebels of the Islamic Republic in the Steel City of Isfahan.
Mahsa was a female athlete who received many titles and medals in the fields of Taekwondo and physical fitness. She took to the street during the Women's Revolution of Freedom on 31st of May. It is said that in the clash with four Basiji Batoom, all four had beaten her for her mastery of martial arts. The same day, on her way home, she was chased, and in a secluded area, several people in plain clothes shot her at close range with a machine gun and cowardly murdered her
Dear Mehsa, every year your family celebrated your birthday, but this year the good people of Iran and the world are your family. Happy birthday to you❤️❤️

Hi, Iranian here, a longtime resident of Tehran.
Do not send support to the Iranian government until Israel hasn't attacked. Do not.
Iran used the attack on its embassy as an EXCUSE to send missiles and drones to Israel. Iran is NOT doing this for Palestine's gain, it's for THEMSELVES. The government is full of lazy, uneducated dictators who will do anything to spread propaganda.
Do you know what it's like seeing posters everywhere on the streets of bruised and bleeding children of Gaza with slogans like "DEATH TO AMERICA!" or "ISLAM WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL" on them? every day?
This is not a tactic to support Palestine. It is a tactic to support ITSELF!
And you know what? It'll fucking work.
The protests last year were due to brutal oppressions of women and children in Iran. If a war starts, nobody will have time to focus on how abusive and theocratic this piece of shit government is, because we'll be too busy forcibly uniting in order to stand against a common enemy- fucking Israel.
And we can't do that. We genuinely do not have the firepower.
We could scrape past a scuffle with Israel, but absolutely not with the US.
I am begging people not to support this. Do not send support for the IRI. Iran has enemies inside and out. Nobody will fight for a country that oppresses it so brutally.
Edit: hey, zionists? Stop interpreting this as a pro-Israel post and thinking that gives you permission to reblog. I am fine with Jews. I am fine with Israelis. I am absolutely not fine with pro-Israel and/or pro-zionism people. Especially those "anti zionism is anti semitism !!1!1!1!!" folks.

Clearly, y'all don't care about Jews, and the fact that Hamas is violently antisemitic doesn't seem matter to any of you. So let me go with a new approach, of equal truth and value. Hamas is violently anti-Palestinian.
This past week, Hamas attacked evacuation routes and prevented Gazan citizens from fleeing an active warzone. [1]
They did that because they routinely use Gazan civilians as human shields. Hamas intentionally builds military targets close to schools, hospitals, and mosques, putting soft targets in the way of both incoming and outgoing fire. Hamas encourages Gazan civilians and children to stand on the roofs of buildings they know the IDF is targeting. [2]
Hamas has refused to allow elections in Gaza since 2006. Not just Palestinian National Authority elections, mind you. No open elections for any office have been held in seventeen years. Palestinian rights to free elections and self-determination have been denied by Hamas. [3] (And good luck to anyone who tries to blame that on Israel, because elections were held by the PNA in the West Bank in 2012, 2017, 2021 and 2022. It's Hamas's intention alone to purge democracy.)
Hamas's track record on human rights is appalling. Palestinian prisoners in Gaza face unfair trials and death sentences after being tortured by police. Palestinian women are prevented from accessing the legal systems to escape domestic abuse situations. Political dissidents in Hamas, even ones who merely support the other half of the Palestinian government, have been summarily executed. [4] [5]
Peaceful organizers in Palestine protested Hamas's massive tax hikes in 2019. Hamas security forces responded by assaulting demonstrators, tracking them down, raiding their homes, and detaining them. And, as previously mentioned, prisoners in Gaza are not treated well by Hamas. [6]
Edit Nov.5, 10:30 PM: I forgot to add arguably the most important thing-- Hamas manipulates the humanitarian aid they receive away from helping Gazans and toward killing Jews. 5% of Hamas's budget actually gets used for humanitarian aid, while 55% goes to military use. Construction equipment intended to rebuild Gaza's crumbling infrastructure is used to build a complex series of underground tunnels. Those tunnels in turn are used to smuggle Iranian military equipment into the country. They were also used for human trafficking in the October 7th attacks. [7]
If you actually want Palestinians to be free, you can't just replace Israel with Hamas. But it's not like they're the only option for supporting Palestinian liberation. While Fatah doesn't have an immaculate historical track record, it now operates as a leftist, democratic socialist, secular Palestinian government that fights for a two-state solution. Similarly, Arab-Israeli political parties like the Hadash-Ta'al coalition support leftist, anti-Zionist, and two-state solutions from within the Israeli parliament.
You can and should support Palestinian liberation movements that abuse neither Jewish nor Arab human rights and dignities. Plenty of them exist out there. But if y'all continue to throw your weight behind an antisemitic and anti-democratic terrorist regime, Palestinians and Jews will both take note of exactly where you stand.

It’s really bizarre watching western leftists bend over backwards to support the Islamic regime. The regime that killed Mahsa Amini. The regime that repressed the protestors by killing and torturing men, women, and children. The regime that remains one of the top enforcers of the death penalty—for things like apostasy or being gay. The regime that tortures, rapes, and kills political prisoners. That has very limited freedom of speech and imprisons journalists.
If you’re able to praise the Iranian regime as “the resistance” then you’ve completely shown that you don’t actually care for any of the people in the Middle East. You only care about your edgy western leftist street cred.
